Mr.. GEORGE has never borne the reputa-
ton of being pugnacious man. but it is
evident by this time. if he expects to hold
up his end of the log, lie will have to de-
velop good deal of pugnacity in order to
succeed. He is inst at this time the object
of a more concentrated fire than any man
living. The church and the politician are
banging away at him from opposite sides.
The capitalist and the workingman are
making HIM the target OF their skill in
craftsmanship. The scientists and the So
cialists are taking an occasional whack at
him. So that, altogether. he finds that it
is pretty stumpy row he is hoeing in his

RALLOT-ROx SAFEGUARDS.
An Explanation of MIR. DOnnelly's
Bill TO Guard Against Election


Bill TO Guard Against Election
Frauds.
The bill introduced by Mr. Donnelly yes
terday providing for the proper conduct of
elections contains several new and novel
features, and is of more than ordinary in
terest. Asked to explain the bill, Mr.. Don
nelly said that the first section provided
safeguards against railroad corporations
controlling elections by rushing great num-
bers of their workmen into counties that
they desired to control, and voting them.
The law already says that no person shall
acquire the right to vote by being in any
precinct for merely temporary purposes.
The proposed bill extends this by declaring
that no person working on the construction
of any railroad or canal who had come
into precinct for that purpose, shall ac-
auire the right to vote therein, but shall
vote in his last and usual place of residence.
The bill also provides against tricks in cleo
lions by inserting Democratic names on Re-
publican tickets or vice versa. 1t provides
that any election tickets SO mixed shall not
be headed Democratic or Republican, but

POWER OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

POW ER OF PJ BLlC SENT NJ ENT.
Much surprise is expressed that the inter-
state commerce bill did not meet with a
larger opposing vote in the senate, where
corporate influence is known to be power
fully felt and freely eXerted- 1t is known
that more than fifteen senators were per-
sonally disposed to follow the wishes of the
railroads by attempting to defeat the bill,
but they dared not do so. Public sentiment
was in favor of the measure and public
sentiment was more powerful than monop-
oliStc dictation. 1t demanded the passage
of the bill and, fearful if they refused of
political death, the senators obediently
passed it. The people, then, having made
themselves so powerfully felt in the senate,
where they are accustomed to find their
wishes most frequently disregarded, have
every reason to expect to bring about a
similar result in the house, whose
members are more susceptible to
the drift of public sentiment. With the
certainty of being repudiated by his conStit-
uentS should he oppose the bill, the doubt
ing representative will hesitate long before
he follows that line of action. Interstate
commerce will be the subject of discussion
to-day in the house. and with the people
demanding the passage of the bill. crude
though it may be in many particulars, the
chances are that it will be passed with but
little debate.
